Bihar: RJD claims 10 of 26 ministers in Nitish cabinet are dynasts

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar — long seen as a leader who kept his own son away from politics and positioned himself as the antithesis to RJD supremo and former chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s dynastic model — has inducted 10 dynasts into his new cabinet, drawing criticism from opponents.

On Thursday, when Nitish Kumar took oath as chief minister for the 10th time, 26 ministers were sworn in alongside him — 10 of whom come from prominent political families. The list of ministers with political lineage includes:

Santosh Sumeet Manjhi, son of former chief minister and Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi

Samrat Chaudhary, son of former minister Shakuni Chaudhary

Deepak Prakash, son of former Union minister and current Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha

Shreyasi Singh, daughter of former Union minister Digvijay Singh

Rama Nishad, daughter-in-law of former Union minister Captain Jai Narayan Nishad

Vijay Chaudhary, son of former MLA Jagdish Prasad Chaudhary

Ashok Chaudhary, son of former minister Mahavir Chaudhary

Nitin Naveen, son of former MLA Naveen Kishor Sinha

Sunil Kumar, son of former minister Chandrika Ram

Lesi Singh, wife of former Samata Party district president Bhutan Singh
